Would you expect two wires side by side to conduct electricity better than a single wire?

They would not conduct electricity better but by running conductors in parallel of equal length from the source to the load will double the ampacity of the circuit. The electrical code specifies that only conductors of 1/0 copper or aluminum or larger can be run in parallel.

What is a metalloid called if it conducts electricity better than non-metals but not as well as metals?
Probably Water, it conducts but doesnt send the current around a single direction, instead scatters it out.
What is closely related to magnetism?
Electricity, magnetism and electricity are two aspects of a single force known as electromagnetism.
What are small particles that have mass and positive electrical charge?
Electrons carry electricity within an atom.
Which nonmetal shows metallic conduction?
I dont know if you mean elements or compounds. If you mean both, there are a group of organic compounds called conducting polymers that conduct electricity through a series of double and single bonds. Read more on Polypyyrole, polyaniline, polythiophene etc if interested
Is wire metal?
Metal wires are single strands of flexible material often used to carry electrical currents, telecommunication signals, and hold mechanical loads.
Can 120 volts electrocute a single strand of hair?
No, dry hair does not conduct electricity.

Is a foil a conductor?
Aluminium conducts electricity about the same as copper, maybe a very small amount less and about five times better than iron if all three metals were of the same thickness and temperature.Conductivity also relies on cross sectional area. That means that thicker wires conduct electricity better than thinner ones. The trouble with foil is that it is thin. It will conduct the electricity but, if it is left as a single layer, it will heat and may burn (yes, metals burn).If you break the battery contacts in a flashlight (torch) then fold up some aluminum foil and stuff it between the battery and the metal contact. My remote for the TV worked on this principal for years when I was at university.Aluminium foil conducts electricity well.

Why can carbon nanotubes conduct electricity?
I thought it was because nano tubes are created using graphene which is a single layer of graphite and graphite only bonds with 3 carbon atoms and this leaves one declocalised electron thats free to carry a charge
Is electricity the same as energy?
Electricity is an energy, But energy is a category and not a single entity.
Where does Ford Motor Company not yet conduct business?
They conduct business every single day. Headquarters are in Dearborn, Mich.
